00:00had a chance to close the gap on first place and Lizzie Musi takes the win there after points
00:07leader Kai Kelly was knocked out in round one good luck thank you Nate what's going on buddy
00:16torque converter bolts are hitting the block unfortunately Nate say they're not gonna be
00:20able to get it fixed in time so Kayla Morton gonna make the pass here but only one driver
00:25made significant gains last week nice pass there for Kayla she will be your grade eight winner
00:29ten thousand dollars Kayla Morton won her first event and I hate to take the win that way but
00:34it's ten grand and moved herself up from fifth place to third that bypass was a winning pass
00:39no matter who was in the lane next to me and now our top eight here in North Carolina are getting
00:45ready to battle it out for more money and even more points put your hands together for the great eight
00:53drivers
00:54we are here at the lot motorsports park in North Carolina fun fact for you the lot stands for
01:12get a load of this and what that's from is the track owner actually hauled concrete so that's where the
01:18load comes from get a load of this we have been here before but look it has been a few years this track
01:24is fast this facility is beautiful coming into this event the point system has changed now rounds are
01:32worth one and a half times points Kai has a 21 point lead currently but whoever wins this race will get
01:38ten thousand dollars and fifteen points which could close that gap tremendously the runner-up will earn
01:44ten and a half points with the semi-finalists each getting four and a half
01:49all right this is the great eight drivers meeting the eight fastest drivers in the invitational class right
01:59your uh top eight in points right now Kai in the lead so your goal for the rest of all seven of you
02:06other than Kai is to get him knocked out in the first round I've already been doing it yeah you've
02:10been doing a great job Kai's been doing a great job so at least y'all know what you got to do now
02:15you want to knock Kai out the first round he does have a little bit of a lead don't forget points and a
02:19half so that also helps damn 15 points if you want and how many points you got 50 there's exactly that
02:26many points left but what are you so you're saying there's a chance turn right yeah oh yeah oh yeah you
02:35the rabbit yeah everybody got the gun all right uh ladies square ready yeah let's do this we got this
02:44time Elizabeth welcome back hi you feel better there's one left number one come on man yeah come
03:01out here draw her she's bad fast here because she's raised around here this is her home track number two
03:07I draw Kayla Morton but that's rough there I'm second in points behind Kai Kelly in the grade eight
03:19if he goes that first round that'll give me opportunity to run and catch him so I this first
03:26round hit is worth everything to me number three it's gonna be Nate Saylor and Kai Kelly
03:31uh-oh I'm feeling good coming into this race that car was fast at the last race it's points
03:38and a half for these next two races and then the final race is double the points but I think if I
03:42could just clinch one of these great eight wins I could seal this championship up which
03:45mean number fours will be Ryan Martin and Motor Nova Ryan Martin I drew him last week first round
03:52also I'd like to race him but I'd like to do it in the finals I need some points he needs some points
03:59we're just gonna have to go up there let go of the button see how it goes go to the pits get your cars
04:04ready
04:29let her rip coming off last week we ran really good especially under the conditions that we were in
04:40after the swap after hurting a blower and just doing everything we could to make round by round
04:47we made all the semifinals so coming here we took the week to freshen up the car check everything over
04:54um you kind of never exactly know exactly what you're gonna get coming right out of the gate with
04:59a brand new fresh combination teammate or not on Saturday it's Friday night and we're after those
05:04individual points I got to really make a push starting tonight to uh if I'm gonna make a run at
05:10this deal and see if we can get another win and on Friday night we're running the great eight last
05:31week um was a little rough for me it was not feeling good um I had another treatment since then I don't
05:38feel as bad so that's a good that that is a plus I feel a little bit more lively than last week so I'm
05:44ready for this weekend good luck be safe thank you no you're no you didn't you're good good luck be
05:53safe we've been having motor issues like freaking blowing is not what we do in this camp and my dad's
06:00been working night and day trying to figure this out this race we're starting off with a brand new
06:04fresh motor uh rolling in for first round of grade eight um I ended up drawing Damon first round um I
06:12don't know he made to the semis last race he's running good
06:15once again in the right lane driving the pro charge Camaro that is going to be Damon Merchant
06:28Damon Merchant going up against Lizzie Musi in the left lane
06:34from here on out the next two races are point and a half the finals is double points this is a
06:49perfect opportunity if you've been slacking on points um but you're still in the hunt to make
06:55up a lot of ground here it's anybody's ball game still um I know Kai's got a hell of a lead right now
07:00going into this weekend but it just takes a couple of good outings winning a couple of races on
07:06Friday nights and to be right back in the ball game but we got to get him out early and we got to
07:10occur some points real quick
07:12and Damon Merchant takes the win there what a drag race between both those cars nice
07:34fast for Damon also for Lizzie hello it was really slow
07:39I got drugged is what I got good lick for us man we needed that one that that little test hit that
07:53we did earlier showed us that we had a little bit of issue going on after making that lick right there
07:59I felt like we got it got a handle on it because come out here and put a wind light on against her
08:06it's saying something good job I was like uh sitting still while you blew past me hey it's all good
08:15good job I was wondering if you made a good one or not because we had stumbled on one so I thought
08:21really we didn't get a chance to make the freaking one because the um oil line was off
08:25oh yeah oh I didn't know that but you look like you made a hell of a pass I made a little
08:30good lick yeah I'm pretty happy with it oh yeah I need to win one here and get one away yeah
08:33good job Damon I'll see you later all right
08:38good job Damon thank you man
08:41tough draw man teammate draw yeah I don't like any of it I hate that but we've only done it the one time
08:51in the final in Bowling Green so it's bound to happen sometime you know but I know he's so fast
08:56but we're so fast too we drew our teammate Axeman first round of grade eight not the ideal draw
09:03um one we want both Chase Driscoll tuned cars to go multiple rounds but um I guess the good thing is
09:10one of us is going to go on uh no matter what um just the points and a half thing it just sucks for
09:16one of us to go out and one of us to move on but it is what it is uh I do feel like he has a slight
09:20advantage um he tested here a couple weeks ago but I've been using that data so we share and so
09:26it should be a really good race kick ass take names that's it what Andrew say what would Andrew say
09:33pass whoopings are free all day winning the grade eight last week is super crucial um it boosted our
09:39confidence going into this week and then it also allows us to be within range of winning maybe it has
09:46to be perfect for the next three events but it's obtainable so I'm really excited for the
09:50grade eight today see if we can stack some more points up and close that gap
09:53so going into the grade eight here at uh galop motorsport park the points move to a point and a
10:08half if you win you get to 15 points instead of 10. that would be amazing
10:13i'm second in points behind kai kelly in the grade eight if he goes that first round that'll give me
10:27opportunity to run and catch him so this first round hit is worth everything to me
10:32all right folks next pair here in this grade eight over in the right lane that is going to be
10:47kayla morton in the pro charge mustang going up against axeman in the left lane axeman backing up
10:56the game changer mustang there's left lane going up against kayla in the right pro charger versus pro
11:02the right lane all right folks next pair here in this grade eight over in the right lane
11:21All right, folks, next pair here in this grade eight over in the right lane.
11:33That is going to be Kayla Morton in the ProCharge Mustang going up against Axeman in the left lane.
11:41Axeman backing up the game changer, Mustang there.
11:44Left lane going up against Kayla in the right.
11:46ProCharger versus ProCharger.
11:49Here we go.
11:51All right.
12:21Axeman will take the win there.
12:23Nice pass for Axeman.
12:25Lots of smoke from Kayla's car there on the top end.
12:33Guessing there, right there, man.
12:37Guess who?
12:40That's fucking dope.
12:41Second time he's done that.
12:43Well, he definitely guessed.
12:47We went up there to line up.
12:49I kind of feel like he took a shot at the tree, and I wasn't expecting that from a teammate, but all is fair in love and racing.
12:59It wouldn't have mattered anyways, even if we would have pulled off that W, because the motor is very tired.
13:06I let go on that pass, we'll get it fixed tonight, turned down for tomorrow.
13:09M, B, D, no big deal.
13:11You made a good hit?
13:13It's okay.
13:14Dang.
13:15This one's fun, shook, everything.
13:17Damn it.
13:20One parachute.
13:22Was it close?
13:22No, Larry, you guessed.
13:25I'm not guessing, I promise you.
13:27I put my life on it.
13:28I got the top end, and she felt like I guessed, so I didn't actually stay to my side and let her cool off a little bit.
13:35It's not guessing, I promise you.
13:37Woo!
13:39Hey!
13:42So, we have Kai.
13:46Third pair, first round.
13:48We got the left lane, which I think is probably the better of the two.
13:53The right lane's got a little shade in it, though, so the track temp on our side is going to be a little hotter.
13:57We draw Kai Kelly, first round.
13:59Honestly, right now, we need somebody that's going to go and swing for the moon and take his ass out right away,
14:04so that the rest of us can get this points and a half and cut his lead up.
14:08Like, I'm hoping that we get him early when he's vulnerable and we take his ass out.
14:13And this is points and a half, so if we win tonight, that's 15 points.
14:18That'll put us at 35, then we're one grade eight away from tying him.
14:22So, we need to take him out and win this tonight.
14:26You know, he's got 50 points, we're at 20, so my plan right now is to go out first round.
14:31We got third pair, we got the left lane, which is the better of the two, and hopefully put Kai on the trailer.
14:36There's another day in the office.
14:43Stress level was in the red, but I just got to take a deep breath and try to hold these boys off.
14:51Maybe.
14:58Hey, bro.
14:59What are we going to do today?
15:01Just tell me something sweet.
15:02Something sweet?
15:03Yeah.
15:04So, maybe you put that goodness out in the world and that goodness is going to come back to you.
15:07Good karma always comes back around.
15:09Yeah, man.
15:10Positive out, positive in.
15:12All right, man.
15:13Let's try that today.
15:14Go out there and kick some ass, okay?
15:15All right, man.
15:16And be careful.
15:17All right, bud.
15:17All right.
15:18All right.
15:18All right, folks, this pair right here is going to be a good one.
15:32Over in the left lane, that's going to be Nate Saylor, Pro Charge Nova, going up against Kai Kelly in the Regal here in the right lane.
15:48And Nate Saylor takes the win.
16:11Nate Saylor puts Kai on the trailer in the first round.
16:18And that is going to help out the rest of the drivers there, that individual points championship.
16:23We got a win!
16:32I drew Nate Saylor again, same guy who ran in the finals last week.
16:37It was pretty much the same race.
16:39He beat me right at the end, you know, so.
16:41Points drivers, I need X-Man to go out, but at this point, I need everybody to go out.
16:49Sean's got 26 points.
16:51If he wins the next two of these races, he's six points ahead of me with the points and a half.
16:55Anybody pack the shoes that haven't been packing them?
16:57Like I said, we just need some luck.
16:59We need the people at the bottom.
17:00We need them to start winning.
17:02They went, like, through the willy bars.
17:04No, one of them.
17:04This ain't a good track for that to happen.
17:12Those damn brakes are smoking when I pull it up.
17:18The best case scenario today is if Damon Merchant could win this whole deal.
17:22That would really help me out.
17:23But it is what it is.
17:25We just got to sit back and watch because we're out.
17:28Just got beat by Nate again.
17:29First round loser.
17:30Five weeks in a row.
17:31There's one way to blow a championship.
17:35Just watch what we're doing.
17:38The car's making good passes.
17:39I don't know.
17:42They're just faster than us right now.
17:47All right, so I'm back in grade eight still.
17:51I'm sitting number seven in points.
17:53And I drew Sean last week, knocked the tires off, lost to him.
17:56So this week, I drew Sean again.
17:58First round.
18:00Ricky.
18:01We got a good position as far as the grade eight.
18:05We're the fourth pair.
18:07I got the right lane.
18:08He got the left.
18:08There's nobody good.
18:09There's nobody good.
18:10So really, it is what it is.
18:13Maybe I don't want to outrun my buddy.
18:14But if I have to, that's what I'm going to do.
18:18Let's get out of this oil right here.
18:19Hopefully, man, they in my lane, whoever's laying down this oil.
18:22Honestly, this is more nerve-wracking than anything, is coming into this.
18:31It's points and a half.
18:33Just as easily as you can climb that ladder, you can get kicked off that ladder.
18:37Have one bad weekend of the car not running good, and somebody can sneak in there and steal everything that I worked hard for all year.
18:49Unfortunately, I drove Ryan Martin.
18:51I drew him last week.
18:53First round also.
18:55And, you know, I'd like to race him, but I'd like to do it in the finals.
19:00I need some points.
19:01He needs some points.
19:03Me and Ryan have went back and forth this year.
19:05I've won a couple.
19:06He's won a couple.
19:07But honestly, I'm tired of racing him.
19:09He's got that thing figured out right now, and he's on a roll.
19:12All right, folks.
19:13This will be the last pair of the first round for the grade eight.
19:15Going to be a great one here.
19:25If I can win, I'm going to win.
19:27We're going to go up.
19:28We're going to do the same thing that we do no matter who we're racing.
19:31I'm going to go up there, and I'm going to go as fast as I possibly can in that lane and hope I take the win.
19:37Over in the right lane, that is going to be Ryan Martin.
19:42Ryan Martin in the right lane, and Murder Nova.
19:45Murder Nova in the left lane.
19:48Let's see who will go to the semifinals of the grade eight.
19:51Here we go.
20:07All right, folks.
20:09This will be the last pair of the first round for the grade eight.
20:11Going to be a great one here.
20:13Over in the right lane, that is going to be Ryan Martin.
20:17Ryan Martin in the right lane, and Murder Nova.
20:21Murder Nova in the left lane.
20:23Let's see who will go to the semifinals of the grade eight.
20:26Here we go.
20:28Here we go.
20:28And Murder Nova gets the win.
20:56Ryan Martin makes a move towards the center, has to get out of it.
21:02Hey, it's fast early.
21:04Don't do me no good if I can't make it.
21:06What happened?
21:07It's a piece of shit.
21:08Did it not go straight again?
21:09No.
21:09We left again.
21:10It's like third, fourth time in a row.
21:12It's a tricky track right now.
21:14I'm slow out of the hole.
21:17It looked like Ryan was out on me just a little bit, and then he had problems.
21:20And, you know, we made the trip, so we took the win.
21:28It looked like he was out on me.
21:30It looked like he was out on me, and then just all of a sudden, it looked like he dumped
21:34out of it and just gone.
21:35You know, like, he definitely out 60 foots me.
21:38We know that.
21:39And I kept on thinking, okay, all right.
21:42But I didn't know.
21:43I know my car will mile an hour a little bit more than his, but I didn't know if he was
21:46out on me far enough that I couldn't come around him.
21:49If he'd have made a full hit, I don't know.
21:51I don't know.
21:53Yeah.
21:54And it never.
21:55Yeah.
21:55What's got to change?
21:59What's got to change?
22:02Slow the car down a little bit, 60 foot a little bit better, or hope the track comes
22:07around to us.
22:08We don't like, none of us like turning the cars down.
22:11You can walk out there, and the surface looks amazing.
22:13It looks like it'll take every tune-up that we have, and it's just, it's slow out of the
22:17hole.
22:18Too much wheel speed, and slows the cars down.
22:22So.
22:25All right.
22:33We're going to go ahead and get started with our grade eight semifinals drivers meeting.
22:37Folks, we started with eight drivers, the eight fastest drivers in the invitational class.
22:42You know, they battle out for $10,000 on Friday nights.
22:46Well, we started with eight.
22:47Now we're down to four.
22:49My good friend Nate Saylor did the rest of the drivers a favor, knocked out Kai Kelly
22:54in the first round.
22:55You're welcome.
22:56You're welcome.
22:56Nate Saylor.
22:57I'm second.
22:57Nice job.
22:59Way to go.
23:01Also, Murder Nova.
23:02Able to beat Ryan Martin in the first round.
23:05Yeah.
23:07Great job.
23:08All right.
23:09So, we're going to go ahead and draw chips, see who's racing who here in this semifinal round.
23:14All right.
23:14You're that much closer to $10,000.
23:17So, gentlemen, go ahead.
23:19Draw your chips.
23:21You taking the trash this time?
23:22Okay.
23:23I normally do, and then it screws me.
23:25I don't race anybody, too.
23:28All right.
23:29Where are my number ones?
23:32Going to be Nate Saylor versus Murder Nova.
23:35Red is right.
23:36First pair.
23:37Wow.
23:38All right.
23:39Which means my second pair will be Damon Merchant versus Axeman, Larry Roach.
23:46All right, drivers.
23:47You know who you're racing.
23:48You know what you got to do.
23:49Go back to the pits.
23:50Get your cars turned around and bring them in the staging lanes.
23:52Good luck.
23:56I cannot draw that either one of y'all would have been a better draw.
24:00Can I be honest with you guys since you're standing here?
24:02For you to say that about me makes me feel pretty.
24:05You're fast as.
24:07No, no, no.
24:07He's fast as right now.
24:09He's too fast to be fanboy.
24:11Get over.
24:11You're too fast to be fanboying.
24:13Damn.
24:14Get your ass back up there.
24:17Fanboying.
24:18Damn it.
24:19Damn it.
24:20Did this shock leak at all, that pass?
24:23Did you put a wrench on this?
24:25Let's do that.
24:27I think we need to get a new client.
24:31Oh, okay.
24:31I think I have some.
24:33Small one.
24:36Slow down.
24:39Did it lose again?
24:40Yep.
24:41That last pass we made, it actually was starting to come left, starting to come left.
24:45In the car, I wasn't going to lift yet, because I could see them right there.
24:48The car came down and I brought it back to the center.
24:51Every pass?
24:52Yep.
24:52Right now, until I figure out what's going on, it was loose.
24:56Pretty loose.
24:57Pretty loose.
25:01Yep.
25:02So, every pass, I'll have you do that, okay?
25:05Check this one?
25:06Check the other side just in case, Mason, since we have it out.
25:10The strut didn't matter this time, because the wheels were carried for so long.
25:18So, but we're going to have to add that to our deal.
25:23I'll get a hold of Chris and find out what I need to do.
25:25If you notice, we put those weight pucks back in the front here.
25:29So, we moved that weight from the trunk to the nose.
25:32We're hoping to keep that nose down just a little bit.
25:34It didn't set it down right before the finish line.
25:36Like, it was up, up, up, up, and I could feel it come down right before the finish line.
25:40I don't want it to carry it that far.
25:42Like, half that's cool, but, yeah, it's hard to steer when it's up in the air.
25:46All right.
25:46You know, the track's kind of tricky, actually.
25:51It's good early, and then bad in the middle, and then good again.
25:55So, it's kind of one of those deals where they're, uh, that we're having to change the tune-up for the length in the track, basically.
26:03You guys, we have not won a grade 8 yet, and I want one, badly.
26:08I mean, don't get me wrong.
26:09I'd rather have the 40 grand than the 10, but, uh, I haven't won one of these, and I want one.
26:14And I think we have the to do it.
26:19So, murdering over.
26:21We race back and forth, back and forth, always in the grade 8.
26:23He's killing it this year.
26:25We run the same setup as he does, ProLine Hemi's.
26:30The cars are pretty equivalent.
26:32He's got a badass race car.
26:33We got a badass race car.
26:35It's going to be a 200-driver game.
26:37We're going to see who wants it more.
26:44Your first pair here in the grade 8 semifinals, over in the left lane.
26:55That is going to be Nate Saylor.
26:58Nate Saylor in the left lane, going up against Murder Nova in the right lane.
27:05We draw Nate Saylor, who is arguably one of the guys who has his hot rod running faster
27:11than anybody else out here.
27:13He's been killing it lately, and the car's fast.
27:16I'm going to have to go up there.
27:17I'm going to have to do what I do, cut a good light, and hopefully get out in front of him
27:21and stay out in front of him.
27:23The last three races, it's almost like he's unbeatable.
27:27So, he's definitely found the niche that that car likes, and he's capitalizing on it.
27:34So, it's going to be a drag race.
27:36I know it is.
27:37And if we take that win, we'll be sitting in a good spot.
27:40Your first pair here in the grade 8 semifinals, over in the left lane.
27:56That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova in the right lane.
28:10And Nate Saylor gets the win.
28:29Nate Saylor going to the finals for the grade 8 class.
28:33Wow.
28:35I let go of the button.
28:38And I treat out of him.
28:41I'm out on him.
28:42I'm making what I feel like is a decent pass, and he drove around me.
28:46I did what I needed to do as a driver, and the car just didn't make the pass it needed to on that surface.
28:54Dude, that was great.
28:55I can't run with that, man.
28:56There's nothing.
28:57I treed you.
28:58I left on you, and you drove around me, dude.
29:01I can't run with that, man.
29:03I just can't.
29:04Like, you made a kill for a pass, man.
29:06Oh, dude, it made stupid.
29:07It pulled the tires up on the gear change and just hung them.
29:10At the beginning of the season, we sucked because we were in air.
29:14And now that the air is coming around where Pro Charger cars run, now it's going the other way.
29:18Nice job, man.
29:19Good race, brother.
29:19Nice job.
29:20Right now, Axeman's ahead of me.
29:22So that's not that big of a deal.
29:24But here comes Nate.
29:26And Nate's coming hard.
29:27With the way he's running, somebody's going to have to shut him down.
29:30It sucks, you know, because that Pro Charger's the same as the one I got on my car.
29:36Like, and if I could get down to that weight, I'd be doing it.
29:41I just can't.
29:43I did everything I needed to do, man.
29:45I treat him.
29:46I was way out on him.
29:47I feel more comfortable in right lane, but which lane's better?
29:58I don't see a difference.
29:59But I just, a driver always feels more comfortable in right lane because the tree's right there.
30:04Pulled Damon in chip draw.
30:05I got right lane.
30:06I kind of like it right lane.
30:08I think both lanes are similar.
30:09So he's been a tough competitor.
30:12I think he's, his record's probably better than mine against each other.
30:15I'm pretty sure he's beat me more than I beat him.
30:19So usually this car is just as smooth as it can be.
30:22Now, at top of first gear, shaking the tires and moving around.
30:25Going against Damon, there's no margin for loss here.
30:28I cannot lose anything.
30:30That's going to be a tough run.
30:31I hope I can at least sit out 60 and get out on him, but that car's fast.
30:42We're no stranger to racing that cat.
30:44Him and I have went back and forth a few times this season, and, you know, he's got a fast hot rod.
30:48I think here lately they've changed the motor combination in it, and the last time we raced, he got me.
30:58And Axeman takes the win.
31:06Right at the stripe in a grade 8 race.
31:08So, redemption is what I'm seeking here.
31:11Word around the pit areas is he's been a son of a bitch on the guessing lately.
31:16So, I'm just going to get up there, be aggressive on the light, and, you know, kick his ass.
31:28All right, folks.
31:29This will be the final pair.
31:31The semifinals for the grade 8 over in the left lane.
31:34That's going to be Damon Merchant.
31:36Damon Merchant in the left lane going up against Axeman.
31:39Larry Roach in the right lane.
31:42The winner will go on to face Nate Saylor in the finals for $10,000.
31:48The winner will go on to face Nate Saylor in the right lane.
32:18No win there.
32:18Great pass from both cars, but Axeman takes the win.
32:21So, your finals in the grade 8 class tonight will be Nate Saylor versus Axeman.
32:28The light turns green.
32:32I never seen him.
32:34About 150 feet or so out, I felt my car start shaking again.
32:37Oh, here we go.
32:38It's not going to make the trip.
32:39I went to the left at the throttle.
32:41All of a sudden, I felt it grab.
32:42I held it down.
32:43Pulled off that win.
32:45Did you make a good hit?
32:46I was just chattering.
32:48I wanted to get it, but I mean, it's faster.
32:50Mine is the top of first.
32:51It chattered so hard, I started to lift.
32:54Oh, down low?
32:55Top of first.
32:56So about 200.
32:58Yeah.
32:59I heard you coming, and there you were.
33:01Going into the finals, that's nothing but badass.
33:04I'm gaining points on Kai, and for him to go out first round and me to still be in here,
33:09maybe I can pull this off.
33:10But it's not done until I take out Nate, and Nate is flying.
33:14The front end down is messing this car up.
33:16Why don't we break it?
33:18I reckon he's going to tune through it and make it faster.
33:20Huh?
33:21If he gets it tuned up right and gets through that shake and you can keep the front end down,
33:25I can drive it and it'll go faster.
33:27Yeah.
33:27I know what he's doing.
33:28I mean, it's going to be fast when he gets it worked out.
33:31So we're just a little bit away from what we need.
33:33Yeah, we're testing in grade eight.
33:34That's not good.
33:36Testing.
33:37Kayla and Max both do it.
33:39It's like, right, last 200 feet, they fly.
33:44And I can't pull them off.
33:46Like, I don't know what to do.
33:48I needed that race tonight.
33:49I needed to win this deal.
33:50So not only for the money, but for the points,
33:53and just let it slip away the last 200 foot of the race there.
33:58Thanks.
34:03All right, folks, we're going to go ahead and do our grade eight finals drivers meeting.
34:10We started with eight drivers in our grade eight.
34:13Two drivers remain.
34:15This race here is going to be worth $10,000.
34:18Our two drivers remaining are Nate Saylor and Axeman.
34:24The two drivers remaining.
34:26Nate Saylor, I said earlier, but you did all the guys a favor.
34:29You knocked out Kai Kelly in the first round.
34:31So did all those guys a favor there.
34:34And now Axeman, find yourself in the finals.
34:36Axeman, you're in second place.
34:38This is your chance to get those points just in time and catch up to Kai.
34:42All right.
34:43Look, we got the coin here.
34:44We're going to go ahead and flip it for lane choice.
34:46Who's calling it?
34:48He's won so much lately.
34:51Nate's won so many rounds lately.
34:53He's been so many people on the trail.
34:54I'm going to give him lane choice.
34:56Wow.
34:56Axeman just giving Nate Saylor lane choice.
34:59Wow, look at that.
35:02Nate, what's up with that?
35:03I don't know, but I like it.
35:05Yeah, I bet you do.
35:06What lane you taking?
35:07We'll take the left lane.
35:08All right.
35:08So Nate Saylor's taking the left lane.
35:10Axeman will be in the right lane.
35:11That'll be your finals, folks, for $10,000.
35:14You earned that lane.
35:15Thanks, brother.
35:16Come on over here.
35:26Come on over here.
35:27Hey, come on over here.
35:28You want that?
35:29Let them be beside each other.
35:30They make me look short.
35:31They're making you look short.
35:31Come over here, bro.
35:32I'm good, man.
35:33Yeah.
35:34I'll stand right here like this.
35:36That's right.
35:36Hey, and I'll do this, too.
35:38Y'all need a box to stand on?
35:39We got a box.
35:40They stay away from me.
35:41They make me look short.
35:41Let me step forward.
35:42You already can see your legs on TV.
35:44Get you a box.
35:46I said they make me look short.
35:47Oh, I love that.
35:48Hey, he told Nate, they make you look short, too, man.
35:50Come over here with me.
35:51Hey, because...
35:52No, come on.
35:53Hey, it kind of makes you look short, too.
35:56I got my boots up there.
35:57I got my boots.
35:59Like, hey, I make y'all look skinny.
36:01That's one thing y'all can say.
36:03Hey, if we step forward a little bit, it looks...
36:05Oh, it's rattling a little more.
36:07No, it's rattling.
36:08One, two, shake.
36:09Oh, on top of first gear.
36:10Once it gets in second, it goes.
36:14Top of first.
36:16Like, it's slumping.
36:18I mean, I shouldn't be complaining because we're winning, but I got...
36:22Like, this car don't do that.
36:26Right.
36:27I mean, yeah.
36:27Nate's been on a killing spree.
36:29I mean, he's been slaughtering these racers.
36:32I mean, we're just running at the back, but...
36:34Like, what was that?
36:35Ohio, when it was spinning every pass?
36:38I mean, it's doing great.
36:40But to outrun Nate, it can't shake.
36:47It's going to have to go smooth, one inch it up.
36:53Yeah.
36:53All the cars we think's fast, Nate's been outrunning them.
36:56So, I mean, I got my work cut out.
36:58And with the tires shaking, man, the confidence, I need them, but in the back of my mind, it's tough.
37:04I need to make that thing to make a full pull and be really fast.
37:10Be safe, man.
37:11Yeah.
37:11Good luck, you guys.
37:12Good luck, man.
37:13Good luck, man.
37:14Axeman's a badass.
37:15I love him.
37:16They pit across from us all the time.
37:17Him and his wife are just super cool people.
37:20I love them both.
37:20We broke in Denver against them, and they got the win.
37:24And then we beat them in Vegas.
37:26So, like, it's one and one.
37:29How many times were you to race?
37:30Yes, I'm here.
37:33The car's fast as s***.
37:34That's why he's in the finals.
37:36These guys aren't in the finals because they're getting lucky.
37:38They're in the finals because they're doing the work.
37:39And they did it.
37:41I mean, they just did.
37:43It's a bad dude.
37:45It's a bad dude.
37:46I think we have a better hot rod than they do, and I want to go out and see it.
37:51This is the great eight finals right here, folks.
38:08$10,000 on this race right here over in the right lane.
38:13That's going to be Axeman Larry Roach going up against Nate Saylor in the left lane.
38:19This will be the final race of the night.
38:24$10,000 to win right here, right now.
38:49And Nate Saylor will get the win.
39:03And Axeman goes red.
39:06$10,000 to Nate Saylor as Axeman leaves early, gets the red lights.
39:13So we roll in, Nate come in, shoot.
39:19I went on the floor, I turned loose that button.
39:22I seen that green light, I said, oh, yeah.
39:25I looked right below and seen a red one.
39:27I said, damn.
39:28That's really what happened.
39:31You said you jumped, did you?
39:33No, I anticipated.
39:35Jumping and anticipating is two different things.
39:37I got a great eight, man.
39:41We've been waiting for this.
39:43He knew he needed it.
39:44I don't fault him for it, but I will never, you will never see me guess unless it's by accident, ever.
39:50But you lose right on the starting line.
39:52I could have spun, I could have broke something, I could have done all sorts of stuff.
39:55But the second you guess and turn on that red light, your race is over.
39:59Who beat you to the finish line?
40:00Well, my win line came on.
40:02Oh, come on, baby.
40:03I almost ran you down anyway.
40:04But no, that's when I let off, you thought you'd come.
40:07Oh, okay.
40:07Now we're at 35 points and Kai is at 50.
40:11We're only 15 points down from winning this $100,000.
40:14And the next two races are point and a half and two points.
40:17We got a shot at this hundred grand, plus our team's kicking ass.
40:20So, man, I'm on cloud nine right now.
40:22I did not jump, man.
40:23You're getting confused.
40:24No, you didn't jump.
40:25You didn't even wait for me to stage.
40:26I didn't even anticipate.
40:27I anticipated.
40:28I anticipated.
40:28I still love you, buddy.
40:30So, Nate, coming off his second invitational win,
40:33just won his first grade eight event.
40:36That moves him from sixth place all the way up to third.
40:39Just 15 points behind Kai Kelly.
40:42He could totally win in his rookie season at Millcroft.
40:47At the beginning of the season,
40:48it looked like Kai Kelly might run away with the grade eight championship.
40:51But the drivers have got their ducks in a row,
40:54and now it is a close race.
40:56To Alabama International Dragway.
40:59How are you doing today?
41:02There's only two races left.
41:03So, if you're in first place in points,
41:06I want to lock it up, Kai.
41:07Lock it up.
41:08I've been trying.
41:09You went out first round last week.
41:10And the week before, and the week before, and the week before.
41:12Don't suck, Kai.
41:12Nate Saylor and Sean, they're two I'm really worried about.
41:15Nate could actually tie me,
41:17and Sean could get really, really close.
